adSails organizes every aspect of the sales process for the entire operation-from
the account executive to the VP of Sales. The software incorporates a
unique Customer Relationship Management (CRM) module that describes the
complex relationships of the outdoor advertising marketplace. It also
generates and tracks orders, from pitch to close to execution. At the
heart of the software is a sophisticated rate system designed specifically
to maximize the value of advertising inventory. By managing the details
of the sales process, adSails frees a sales force to focus on what it
does best: selling.
Workflow automation standardizes best practices for a sales organization.
It can also provide the tools for measuring compliance. adSails summarizes
data for presentation in a range of analytics that vary in scope and detail:
sales activity, dollars pitched, dollars closed, sales-to-budget comparisons,
and pacing reports, to name a few. Best of all, by making the job of selling
easier, adSails enjoys an enviable track record of end-user acceptance.

Comprehensive Sales Activity and Financial
Metrics
Workflow automation is all about driving revenues. adSails does it by
increasing productivity, maximizing efficiencies, and eliminating mistakes
and redundancies that cost your operation money.
When you streamline the workflow, you give your account executives more
time to sell. You give your managers greater control over the sales process.
And you gain access to powerful analytics that can inform your strategic
decision-making. Real workflow automation is comprehensive: it covers
the life of the sale, from cold call to traffic, allowing you to follow
the money. And it makes your sales organization leaner and more profitable
by consolidating the time and effort spent on the paper trail. Here's
how it works:
for account executives Activity Tracking: From cold call to traffic
adSails' new Pipeline Workflow interface organizes the life of every sale,
from an AE's cold calls to export to MISA's fulfillment system. It creates
an iron-clad paper trail that documents every step of the process as defined
by your sales protocol.
Integrated
Order Generation-Pitch, close, and traffic in one step
adSails saves account executives time by applying a simple principle:
the single authorship of information. That means that an AE creates an
order once, and then presents it in different ways for different audiences-proposals,
contracts, and insertion orders, all with no extra work. By eliminating
the paper trail, adSails generates productivity gains that translate into
measurable increases in revenue.
Production Orders
adSails streamlines and standardizes the creation of production orders
and creative content. Every entry becomes part of an account library.
Integrated
reporting
Genuine workflow automation gives an AE powerful reporting tools. As an
AE sells, the software keeps track of account histories and generates
a variety of metrics. Unlike any other application, adSails bases all
metrics not on reported numbers, but on orders generated in the software.
AEs don't have to spend time writing weekly activity reports because the
software does it for them.
for the enterprise
Order-approval interface
adSails' ground-breaking order-approval screen provides a centralized
interface for AEs, managers, business, and traffic departments. As soon
as an account executive closes an order, management and business departments
can review the order for approval, and traffic can execute it. It's the
ultimate in transparency and accountability. That means orders get processed
faster and more reliably.
Traffic
Interface
Why make your traffic department key in orders when AEs have already entered
them? adSails can export AEs' orders to MISA's fulfillment system. Our
traffic interface virtually eliminates data entry for your traffic personnel
so that they can focus on managing inventory.
Consolidation
of workflow
adSails consolidates the creation of sales packages, form letters, and
research integration. By leveraging the efforts of sales assistants, marketing,
and research departments, you can give your AEs even more time to sell.
Analytics
adSails software collects data at ground level. Sales activity generates
the basis for a unique set of analytics not offered by any other application.
The information can be viewed in a variety of ways, from the granular
to global. adSails can even replicate data to the SQL database of your
choice.
